In light of recent comments, can some of the anti shorts answer two questions
Should shorting be banned in the futures markets?
Does shorting cause futures prices to go down?
Please... I am aching to hear answers to these so we can go for the season duck.

I want answers to these fair questions first.Wayne
Why don't you save us all the trouble and just let us know what you think.
I thought this thread was on shorting ASX stocks but if you have to enlighten us on the futures market go ahead.

After several days of myself and others asking them, not one supporter of the short ban has been forthcoming to answer.
Something in that maybe?

The above is the OP's initial post that started this thread. It was never restricted to the ASX. Hence, Wayne's questions are actually in context with the initial post and the question it raised.
Wanting to avoid entrapment I would say.
Or attract the words Moron, Communist, Troll etc.Wanting to avoid entrapment I would say.
So a ban on shorting futures is untenable?Wanting to avoid entrapment I would say.

The market has been operating in a normal fashion since the suspension. Once existing shorts were covered resulting in an upward move.
Nobody expected the market to go up in these times but it has been losing ground in a more orderly fashion without the pressure of short-sellers.
Well at least something is going up.Normal??
Ordinary??
The stats would suggest it hasn't been like for some time. And that is AFTER the short ban.
Cheers and good trading (when you will be allowed to again)
IMO,
Naked short selling should be banned
Covered Shorting should be suspended and was. A correct move and it will be lifted once this once in one hundred year bear market occurrence subsides.
With the US one step away from depression (not recession) the deck was stacked too much in the hands of the hedge funds to print money.

See shorters only contribute to a rising market if they get caught out, which is not the name of the game. You borrow, sell , buy back but not at the price you originally borrowed at but lower so when you return your borrowings you have the difference as profit.
How you think that makes for a healthy market state in the worst bear market of the century just boggles the mind.
MQG a perfect example.
One article in the Australian and the stampede was started(How much was the journo paid in the back pocket for that one is anyones guess) Just because you don't own a targeted share doesn't make it okay. Thousands of ordinary Aussies own a bit of MQG through their super and FMG and BHP.
These are dark times that need extreme measures like a 700 billion cheque for instance. To you shorters, take your profits and go to the Bahamas for a month and Relax
The suspension is lifted in the US on Thursday and ASX is bound to follow.
Thank you for your patience and cheers Smithy
Well at least something is going up.: : : : :
(plus the biggest points fall on record AFTER the ban)
